Looking back, this photo turns out to be almost surreal.

Trump knew that Tucker was maintaining conversations with Iran.
So he decides to invite him to the Oval Office just before the attack, knowing that Tucker would run out and tell everyone about it.
Iran sees the photo.
They start thinking that Tucker has real influence over Trump.
They start believing that Trump is lying publicly.
Meanwhile, Trump is sitting there smiling… because that's exactly what he wanted them to think.
Tucker's ego is what makes the whole deception believable.
Khamenei believes it.
And, without realizing it, Tucker ends up helping seal the Supreme Leader's fate… while he himself could now face serious consequences for what happened.
A move that, according to some, was calculated down to the finest detail.
